A side table is foldable and attached to the grill portion for additional mirrored surfaces and grilling surface area. Below the grill is a solar oven being enclosed on three sides and having doors in the front made of glass that are openable with wooden handles. Inside of the solar oven are mirrored surfaces and a grill/ surface for cooking.
